The Secret Blackness of Milk exhibition is an attempt to outline the field of activity of Antoni Karwowski, an artist who has cultivated performance art since the genre broke free from other avant-garde trends to establish itself in the 1970s. The exhibition presents the early, anti-systemic performative actions undertaken by Karwowski in collaboration with Zbigniew Oleszyński (as Group A) in the Communist era (1970s-1980s), as well as selected projects and performance series carried out individually that followed in the 1990s and continue to the present day. It traces the shift in locus of his performances from intervention and social actions to self-knowledge through the creative working of memory and personal experiences.
